The game remained scoreless until Miguel Contreras put points on the board, but Belmont answered with a rushing touchdown by Edward Jackson. The Sentinels attempted an unsuccessful two-point conversion, leaving the score 7-6 with Miguel Contreras in the lead.

Belmont tightened up their defense in the fourth quarter as the Cobras had first down. Belmont took possession of the ball with 35 seconds on the clock and no time outs. Quarterback Carlos Castillo avoided the sack, throwing to Keiyon Johnson as the crowd went wild. Johnson spun around and ran for the touchdown.
